Night Concierge Staff for Homeless Hostels in Brighton and Hove

HHS Group supplies vetted Night Concierges to homeless hostels, supported accommodation and emergency shelters across Brighton and Hove and the surrounding area, including Shoreham-by-Sea, Lewes, Worthing and Peacehaven, working with local authorities, housing associations and homelessness charities.

Night Concierge cover across Brighton and Hove

A Night Concierge provides overnight building presence and access control — checking who comes and goes, holding keys, monitoring entry points and CCTV, and being the calm first point of contact if something happens after hours. This is distinct from our Night Support Workers, who focus on resident welfare and casework rather than access control; many Brighton and Hove sites run both roles side by side.

We cover hostels and supported housing sites across Brighton and Hove and the wider area, including Shoreham-by-Sea, Lewes, Worthing and Peacehaven. See our Brighton and Hove area page for the full range of roles we supply locally.

Contract Cover and Agency Cover in Brighton and Hove

Some Brighton and Hove sites use our fully outsourced Contract Cover service, where we take complete responsibility for concierge staffing on an ongoing basis. For a one-off shift, sickness cover or an unexpected rota gap, our reactive Agency Cover service supplies vetted overnight concierge staff to sites in the area at short notice — including short-notice cover when a Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) is activated or an emergency winter night shelter opens locally.

Vetting and Training for Our Night Concierges in Brighton and Hove

Every member of staff we deploy in Brighton and Hove for this role is Child and Adult Enhanced DBS checked and completes a site-specific induction before their first shift, alongside our full training package covering conflict management, safeguarding, fire safety and lone working. See the complete detail on our national Night Concierge page and our vetting, training and safeguarding standards.

No complete authoritative register of homeless hostels or shelters in Brighton and Hove was identified; current council evidence verifies at least one short-stay off-street emergency facility, able to accommodate up to 30 people sleeping rough by outreach referral. The government’s autumn 2025 single-night snapshot estimated 57 people sleeping rough in Brighton and Hove, a specific rough-sleeping measure rather than a total of everyone experiencing homelessness. Night Concierges we place locally build this kind of context into overnight access control and knowing when to escalate an incident.
